Lenten Regulations

Fasting binds all Catholics who have completed their 18th birthday through those who have completed their 59th year, unless prevented by health. On days of fast, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one’s own needs. Eating solid food between meals is not allowed, although fluids may be taken.

Abstinence binds all Catholics who have completed their 14th birthday, unless prevented by health. On days of abstinence, the consumption of meat is not allowed. The Church strongly encourages the observance of Friday abstinence, but failure to do so is not regarded as sinful. However, failure to observe any penitential days at all or a substantial number of such days must be considered serious.

Stations of the Cross

Lent is a time for being recreated. We are invited to take a close look at our lives and our relationships with Christ, with our families, friends and all of humanity. Stations of the Cross are prayed each Friday of Lent at 7 p.m. in the Cathedral Worship Space, except for Good Friday (April 19); which will be at 3 p.m.
